The Perfect Fit

For today's post, I teamed up with Kohl's to give you a spring/summer bra guide. Yes, BRAS! As I've gotten older, I've learned the importance of choosing the right one for specific tops and dresses. I used to always wear the same type, but not anymore. I'm going to show you 5 different spring looks that I have recently worn and explain which bra I wore for each look and why. It's all about finding the perfect fit!

I couldn't wear a regular bra with this crop top because of the way the top is cut in the front.

I used to hate wearing strapless bras because I couldn't find any that still had great support. This one offers a cup-specific lift and support with an inner silicone-lined band for a stay-in-place fit. It also comes with adjustable straps too. I got this in both nude and black since they will work well under anything. So if you are looking for a new strapless bra, this is a good option to start with!

Racerback

Initially when I got this dress I was just planning to do a strapless. But when I came across this t-back style bra, I knew it would be a better option since it would provide extra coverage in front. It has seamless contoured cups with very little padding and it's extremely comfortable, especially in the back. It's a great fit too!

I heard so much talk about t-shirt bras but never thought to give one a try until recently. Now I'm hooked! They are SO comfortable and work great with thin shirts like this one from the Peter Som x Kohls collection. It has seamless full coverage padded cups but it doesn't look or feel bulky which I love. It offers such a smooth silhouette. I couldn't find the one I got online, but the link above is for a similar style.

I chose this bra for a few different reasons. For one, it's cut low in the front making it the perfect choice for tops like this with a plunging neckline. It's wire free which really intrigued me since all of my other bras have an underwire. I was surprised by the support and lift it still gave me. And the best part is the wide back. Don't you hate when a bra gives you that "back fat"? I know I do. But with this bra, you no longer have to worry about that.

Demi

Simply Vera, Vera Wang Lace Microfiber Demi Bra (here)
This one works as a great every day bra. The comfort is amazing and there is no bulk, which is why I wore mine with this white tank. For me, it's very similar to a t-shirt bra. This one has a low cut design with seamless cups. Demi bras have a half cup for low coverage, medium support and extra cleavage.

80% of women are not even wearing the correct bra size, which is crazy! Kohls offers a great measuring system in case you want to double check. They really do have such a huge selection of bras to choose from and all at an affordable price. I hope you liked today's post :)
